I know that. but when I click the link, Internet Explorer bring up the download dialog box and asks me, if I want to download or open.
 
I want to avoid that. If you go in Help, you will see Microsoft have given links to My Computer, Paint and Control Panel and they open the way they should, but I do not understand how they have linked.
 
Thanks

Well if in doubt, copy someone else.
 
View the source of said help file to see how they do it.
 
Try this one:
 
<A ID="shortcut" HREF="EXEC=ExploreWClass,explorer.scf,, CHM=ntshared.chm FILE=alt_url_windows_component.htm">Windows Explorer</A>

You might want to try www.devguru.com or some other sites and learn HTML a bit further. You seem to have a bit further to go in basic development before trying to develop a desktop interface.
